LG invented a crazy, bendable TV that sticks to your wall like a refrigerator magnet

LG wants to make mounting your TV just as easy as sticking a
magnet onto your refrigerator.

At an event earlier this week, the South Korean electronics giant
showcased an incredibly thin 55-inch television with a flexible
screen that you can press onto your wall using magnets.

It's just a concept, though — there's no indication when or if a
product like this will actually come to market. The purpose of
the announcement was really to announce LG's plans to focus on
making OLED screens for products moving forward.

The TV screen itself is less than a millimeter thick, according
to
CNET. For context, that's about the same thickness as a paper
clip. As shown in the image below, a magnetic pad holds the
flexible TV screen up to the wall.

The TV itself almost looks like paper.

LG Display

LG's new display marks yet another concept device that showcases
how flexible screens could one day be implemented into everyday
products.

Both LG and Samsung have been pioneering flexible display
technologies over the past several years, but we have yet to
really understand why gadgets with curved screens would even be
necessary in the first place. A television such as the one LG
showcased earlier this week begins to answer that question a
little bit.

Samsung is believed to be capable of developing a fully flexible
phone by 2016, a company executive
said at an investor event in New York this past
November. But it's unclear exactly what the advantages
of a bendable phone would be. Both Samsung and LG have released
phones with curved screens, but they haven't really caught on
with consumers.
